Needle-knife papillotomy for removal of impacted fully covered self-expandable metal stent

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Endoscopic retrieval of a proximally migrated biliary metal stent is technically challenging and occasionally ends in failure.1 Whereas several retrieval techniques have been published,2,3 we report an innovative approach with the use of a needle-knife papillotomy for successful removal of an impacted fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS).
